Situated in lively London Victoria, The Idler is a stylish new restaurant offering a refined escape from the bustle of the city.

The chic, minimal interior, adorned with greenery, creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making The Idler an all-weather spot for a leisurely lunch or a catch-up dinner with friends. Located just moments from Victoria Station, it’s perfectly placed for a memorable dining experience.

Inspired by the relaxed charm of Mediterranean coastal eateries, The Idler is an all-day dining destination rooted in British seasonality with a playful twist. The menu blends influences from land, sea, and earth, with thoughtful small plates and refined mains designed for two to four guests to enjoy together.

Fresh fish, prime cuts, and vibrant vegetables are paired with deli-style sides, lighter bites, and bold flavours made for sharing. Standout mains include Lake District bavette with heirloom tomatoes and Madeira jus, and Herdwick lamb rump served with Jersey Royals, baby carrots, and rocket pesto.

To finish, the dessert selection ranges from grilled peaches with honeycomb ice cream to rich chocolate tonka mousse, delicate crème fraîche panna cotta, and a hand-picked assortment of Neal’s Yard cheeses.
